Blisters, skin irritation, and sweaty feet are common problems that recreational and professional players alike do battle with during practices and matches.
But now thanks to Drymax Sports’ revolutionary technology, athletes can compete blister and sweat free.
Gus Blythe, the developer of Drymax’s line of tennis socks, understands the difference that comfortable footwear can make in a match.
“What you wear on your feet affects comfort and performance and therefore the outcome of your game,” said Blythe. “Choose your socks wisely, your feet depend on it.”
Drymax tennis socks are designed with two different fiber technologies interwoven to form a dual-layer sock. This advanced design creates a self-contained Moisture Removal System keeping feet dry and comfortable on or off the court.
Drymax socks employ several features as an anti-blister system to actively prevent the formation of blisters. 1) Exceptional 3D fit, 2) Five sock sizes, 3) Seamless insides, 4) An instep-hugging arch band, and 5) Because Drymax socks stay dry, the skin stays dry too; therefore blisters normally caused by sweat or sweat vapor are prevented.
Among the athletes who have found success wearing Drymax’s brand is American tennis star Bethanie Mattek. Mattek, long known for her interest in fashion and apparel, has been using the socks during the 2008 tennis season, which has already been the best of her career. She reached the semifinals last week at the East West Bank Classic in Los Angeles, setting a new-career high ranking of No. 45.
On the Baseline recently asked several recreational and NTRP ranked players to test out the socks during their practice routines. All the individuals reviewed stated that they were satisfied with the product and would consider recommending the socks to other tennis players.
“They feel comfortable and feet are reasonably dry after playing,” said Angela Hall, a 3.5 ranked player who normally wears Nike socks.
While the socks kept many players feet dry, some said that the socks did increase the temperature inside their shoes and were occasionally cited as “warm” or “hot”.
Drymax Tennis socks can be worn all day every day for sport or casual wear and are sold in athletic footwear, tennis specialty, sporting goods and sports apparel stores and online. Drymax retailers & e-tailers can be found at www.drymaxsports.com.

I have found the perfect product to keep babies socks on their feet. STAY PUT SOCKS! keeps babies socks from falling off. The best thing about it is that you don’t have to buy any special socks. You just use the ones you already have. The device is a clear rubber ring that you slip over your babies sock. It stays around the smallest part of their ankle on the outside of the socks and keeps them from falling off. THEY REALLY WORK! You can get them at stayputsocks.com and they are 4.99 and come in sizes newborn to 18months. You can also buy and all size package that includes all six sizes of Stay Put Socks! for only 24.99.
